The kids ate well today. We ordered all their favorites, including clams with black bean sauce. Check out that huge mound of shells that Peanut left on his plate!

Watch us grow!

It was another day of no school and Mama was able to stay home today. For lunch, we went to Bowl’d at Southshore Center.

Peanut had been asking to go to the food trucks for a few weeks now so that’s where we went for lunch today! He loves the fried catfish and fries at the Southern Food Truck.

It’s the last day of Janie’s Winter Break. This morning, Janie and Mama went to the tennis courts to play. Afterward, we walked to Angelfish for a sushi lunch.

Then we picked up Peanut from school in the afternoon and headed to Target to pick up a few supplies.

It was also a swim day and Janie got her Eel ribbon and was moved up to Tigershark!! Woohoo!

We usually go to Disneyland for Christmas Eve but agreed to take a break this year. Instead, we spent an afternoon at Downtown Disney.








Ankong and Ama took all four kids to an indoor playground today! It looked like so much fun!



They also went out for a pasta lunch and ice cream afterward!

These are some pretty lucky kids!



Merry Christmas!! We all dressed up in matching pajamas this year!



Cousins came over early in the morning to exchange/open gifts!

Then we headed over to Toni and Thomas’ house to start the standing rib roast and make s’mores outside in the patio.

Janie helped out by peeling all the potatoes. Ankong helped keep the trashcan lid open.

It was fun watching all the kids play together.


All the kids got a new toy called a Springling. All had a different animal that comes with a spring-loaded container. They got really creative with how they played with them.

We had lunch with Dada’s cousins and family this time.





Janie spent the night at Alice’s house last night and woke up early (as usual). Uncle Johnny went out to get them bagels for breakfast.


In the meantime, Peanut went to Toni and Thomas’ house to play. It’s great having so much family around!

Mama flew back to Alameda tonight so Uncle Johnny took the kids to Souplantation for dinner. Thanks, Uncle Johnny!
